Using this is causing problems with blanking of screens when logging in.
Log in, close open base and the screen will blank.
Also sometimes happening is a report that the graphics experience might not be optimal on my system and it is telling me to check that the video drivers are up-to-date and I'm using a compatible web browser.
Leaving subs will also create a momentary blank screen on the tab I move to after closing a tab where I had been playing.
Also, moving the area of focus in game by dragging the screen around can cause a momentary blank screen.
The developers are aware of these issues and are investigating.

Google has started to roll out Chrome 69.0 now and unfortunately we have to inform you that we are experiencing a few technical issues with the release of that version.
When loading the game and navigating the overworld, you may experience stuttering and low framerates.
Usually this resolves itself shortly after joining a world, with the browser blanking out for a moment and then resuming the game.
This is related to the recent changes and nothing we can address or fix right out of the gate. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Totally unplayable in current condition, it's like trying to play the game in 0.7 FPS
With chrome open, Press Shift and Escape to open the Chrome task manager

You will see a process called GPU Process, click on the GPU process and select End task. It will kill the proccess and relaunch a new one and the game should be back to normal.
You may have to do this everytime you launch a new world until the developers identify a fix.
It works for me on a Windows 10 PC, may not work for everyone.

...may help for others too.
I have not had any performance drop or screen blanking so far. Are players with this version still experiencing these issues?
Hi,
I updated my browser last night to Chrome 69, stupid move on my part but i managed to fix the issues that followed.
Game ran at 5 FPS, had to disable ingame animations etc.
However some dude on the forum told me to disable hardware acceleration in chrome and it worked.
Everything back at 58fps.
Go to Settings > Advanced > System (at the bottom) and uncheck the 'Use Hardware acceleration when possible'.
Restart the browser and bobs yer uncle.

Yes mine has updated again today to the same version as you, my reported issues have gone now.
Back to speedy loading and 59 FPS in game
